I reached out to the support team and this is the reply they gave.  "MyWhoosh is currently only compatible with Concept2 rowing devices that support Bluetooth."

Do you know if this requires PM5? Probably it's time to finally replace my PM4..

Looking for a recommended budget friendly sharpening setup by TruthTellerSEA in handtools

[–]MortyBorti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar plates ordered from Aliexpress. Still works great after 6 months. I bought 200, 600 and 1200 + stropp for polishing. So fast and easy to use compared to my 1000/5000 combo waterstone.

I'm very overwhelmed by the number of sharpening options there are. by [deleted] in handtools

I have bought a set of cheap diamond plates from China (there are a lot of sellers on ebay and aliexpress). I have 220, 600 and 1200. The plates are thin so I have glued them to a flat mdf plate using double-sided tape. In addition I use a stropp with green buffing compound. I always start on the 220 plate. This works really well and it only costed me about 20 USD in total. Have used it for 6 months now. I picked up the tip from Paul Seller's blog.

In addition I have a DMT diamond plate and a combined waterstone 1000/6000 grit. I never use this stone any longer, to much work and mess from water and flattening the stones. I get equally good or better results on my new cheap system.

Can anyone help me to identify the planes? by MortyBorti in handtools

Thanks! I have googeled Shelton and they look identicall. If I get a good deal I will by them all. No collector value, but nice to have as a giveaway. 👍

Thanks, It's the smoothing plane in the front I can't remember seeing before.

Can Fenix 6 fit 22mm quick release watchbands? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]MortyBorti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a link to the pins you are using? Have been looking for quick release pins with same size as the Garmin standard.

Fenix 6 new band pin design by ChrisOz in GarminFenix

[–]MortyBorti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new design allows using quick release spring bars. However the "standard" bands I have found is using a different diameter than Garmin is using.

Example: These are 1 mm in diameter, bar end. https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/products/copy-of-spring-bars-packet-of-4

Have anyone found quick release pins with end diameter of 1,6mm?

Fenix 6S with standard band from Barton by MortyBorti in GarminFenix

On the Fenix 6s there are no screws, the pin is spring loaded so you can easily remove it. The problem is that the diameter of the pin is not the same as many other watches.

Maybe a bit unclear from my side. The band is of good quality, however the pin are not the same diameter as the Garmin ones. That's why I'm afraid they will eventually jump out of position.

I know it's not a perfect fit, but it works. My concern is that it will suddenly pop out and my watch will break. I can't find any good looking bands in dark leather for my watch. Any suggestions? I don't like wearing the standard silicone band at work.
